Have mercy on the missus.
Some supermarkets do self police what comes to the check out. I know a loved one always made sure she was buying essentials when she was given food grants. She made sure she bought items she couldn't normally cover in her benefit such as kitchen spray ...
"We have created the mental health crisis by misapplying reasonable principles…the theory of care in the community was sound provided it was sufficiently resourced (it never was) and there was provision for those for whom it was ineffective (there isnt). ...
Forgot to say the entire family were not masked which made it pretty odd that they were all kosher with exemptions.
Coincidence you say this Grey Area. I have just come in from a morning op shopping with a friend. First time I have been out for some discretionary retail therapy for a long time. Suitably masked up with my friend we wandered through a series of charity ...
Sounds a bit like the Battle of Agincourt when the French knights on horseback got bogged down in the mud and the English archers won the day. History says the night before the battle Henry V asked one of his close associates what the day would be like and...
I changed subtly my diet when I was 14 kilos overweight and told I was pre-diabetic about 8 years ago. I read up about low GI ways to eat food and I was away laughing and have never looked back. I gave up refined carbs of all kinds unless it was special ...
Apologies to Mortica Barfly. You are correct. Both females were pretty ghastly and Mortica does not deserve their comparison.
Good God another Mortica has risen from the Crypt. Paula Benefit is doing a Michelle Boag and has been rattling the tin around the rich listers and brought all the dosh in for the National Party. I know one is not meant to get personal but she has a bit of...
I believer the correct terminology is - Master's Orders to Pilot's Advice. Technically in the Merchant Navy we do not have Captains we have Masters - from the horse's mouth - my partner a Foreign Going Master Mariner.
Expressed so well Sabine - my respect

There are mysteries concerning this virus still to be explained. How is it that some people just do not catch this virus. My son in law in the UK tested positive with covid. He is 65 and has a stent fitted for his heart. He suffered from the symptoms of a ...

Not sure what header this should be under but it sure is a poke in the eye to the Government. The Police and NZDF are being told by the courts processes that their unvaccinated staff are now allowed to be reinstated at their work. Woohoo – personally think...

For folk who are fortunate and do not have underlying conditions and keep generally excellent health it must be extremely difficult to understand what its like to be seriously sick. One has to experience the hell of it of it to believe it to be. Personally...
I have posted up before about the conscription of men during WW2 and about the mandating of blood donation in Egypt -being pulled out of ranks at random and marched off to field hospitals to give blood. No pissing around then and no whinging either. My ...
Thank you Corey for firstly owning your change of mind about this occupation. I agree with what you have written. Its good to read a good expose on the current state of events. Everything you have said is solid. Cheers.
With rising inflation, grocery bills climbing, power bills rising, petrol sky rocketing and rents increasing restaurant outings have become a fiction to so many people. Its the first thing that gets knocked off their budget. What planet is Chloe is on. ...

Thanks for your help but the instructions I downloaded are not appearing on my Amazon screen. Will see if my techie son in law in the States can help me. The reason I have a Fire is my daughter over there has one and its great for messaging. Its a bugger ...
Lprent can you help me. My Amazon Fire has frozen on the 2nd February and is not rolling over daily like it used to. I have deleted the short cut and have entered again via the browser and it is still frozen on the 2nd Feb. What is this jargon about the ...
Yes I am watching and very addictive it is. I marvel at the courage to soar up in the air and do these acrobatic rolls. Wonders of being young and fearless. And our Zoi has won gold, fantastic and well deserved.
Adrian I see where you are coming from on your comments. A bit harsh on the hapless folk overseas but yes you are right. People who think two years is a vast time to be apart from family just need to take a reality check. Missing grandchildren after a two ...
Yes Tricledrown and on top of that they laid mines under bridges etc and had to defuse them as well. He was strafed often and had to huddle in ditches. He lost his hard hat on one trip into a ditch and ran back for it, the ditch was obliterated and he lost...
My uncle during WW2 was a sapper in the first echelon and stationed in North Africa. When blood was required urgently which was often men were pulled out of the ranks randomly and frog marched to the nearest field hospital and were required to give up ...

Wow its gone Red. Here I was saying its a stupid idea to turn Northland orange only to be returned to Red and it didn't even last two weeks. What a wasted exercise that was.
